Many possibilities: If any doubt, see your doctor to confirm yeast; such frequently recurrent yeast is uncommon. If confirmed, control any underlying conditions like diabetes. Some yeasts are resistant to Monistat and other "azole" drugs and need other treatment. Taking fluconazole (Diflucan®) once a week by mouth may be effective in preventing outbreaks. Vaginal boric acid capsules also can help. Good luck!

?: The question is why so many yeast infections? Are you diagnosing yourself? You need to see your doctor for this makes no sense. Any other medical issues must also be considered
